Kindergarten Activities in Malaysia
If only we could do it again, most of us would return to the kindergarten time we had. Especially looking at kindergarten nowadays, it is fantastical to witness all the happy and educational lessons that are now included in the curriculum. The first years of kindergarten are one of the most beneficial times of a kid’s life. We are fortunate in Malaysia to have tadikas that promote a colorful and dynamic atmosphere that allows kids to learn, play, and grow with their friends.
At a kindergarten, you can find various things for children to do that are both traditional and modern. Different traditional education sessions, like storytelling sessions, arts and crafts, and music, are some of the ways to develop children at Malaysian kindergartens. The storytelling sessions inspire children with imagination and communication skills, while arts and crafts work increases their creativity and motor coordination. Children improve their coordination and sense of rhythm through music and movement activities. During outdoor play, on the other hand, studies show they contribute to the physical development and social interaction of kids.
Here’s a peek at some of the main lessons most Malaysian kindergartens teach in their curriculum.
- Language Development:Through songs, rhymes, stories, and interactive games, kids may learn to talk, listen, and extend their vocabulary. This exposes kids to English and Bahasa Malaysia, which helps them prepare for future academic success.
- Mathematics: Children have fun counting, sorting, and building block structures of different sizes. They are introduced to various early math concepts, such as recognizing numbers, patterns, shapes, and addition and subtraction at a basic level.
- Science Exploration: By now, parents must have known that children are curious by nature and kindergartens encourage this curiosity through hands-on experiments, nature walks, and observation of the world around them.
- Social and Emotional Learning: Kindergarten is among kids’ first environments where they learn social skills like sharing, taking turns, queuing up, and working as a team. The process of group tasks, role play, and discussion develops emotional skills and awareness of classmates’ feelings in young children, further developing sensitivity and sound values in a child.
- Creative Expression: From finger painting and drawing to singing and dancing, Kindergarten provides a good foundation for children to unleash their creativity. This activity helps them to develop their imagination, their motor skills, and self-confidence, most importantly.
Freesia Kids: Our New Innovative Sandsation Wetplay Program
At Freesia Kids, we understand the importance of providing enriching experiences for our youngest learners. In addition to our robotics and coding programs, we are excited to introduce our new Sand Wet Play activity, tailored specifically for pre-schoolers (aged 4 years old). This hands-on experience allows children to engage in sensory play and uniquely explore their creativity. The Sandsation Wetplay at Freesia Kids offers numerous benefits for young children’s development. Among them are:
Sensory Exploration: When children play with sand, it allows them to feel and recognize the different textures, temperatures, and sensations, which we believe stimulate their senses. It also helps children develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination while playing with sand.
Creativity and Imagination:Sand Wet Play encourages children to use their creative imaginations to build structures, create shapes, and tell stories.
Social Interaction: Sand play often involves children playing together, and believe us, they love this activity as it is fun, especially when they are doing it together with their friends
Emotional Regulation: Did you know that playing with sand can have a calming effect on children, helping them regulate their emotions and reduce stress? It helps them take their minds off the pressure of being a kid!
